despierta mucha inquietud en el espectador que es a lo
que un artista aspira.

Les envío uno de los primeros escritos sobre la
muestra de un escritor que generalmente se dedica a
escriir sobre literatura para Perfil pero cuando vino
esa noche le pedi por favor que escribiese lo qe había
pensado y aqui está.

Albino Gomez sobre la obra de

MARISA RUEDA

Las texturas narradas y la colección de Lucía Yanguas
Rueda, son una verdadera y entrañable encarnación de
las migraciones, de los recuerdos, de las nostalgias.
De Galicia, La Rioja, y de los horizontes lejanos de
las Pampas. De la libertad del feminismo en
Inglaterra, lejos de la Argentina y de España. Lejos y
cerca a la vez. Con la presencia imborrable de la
madre y la presencia activa de la hija. Y con las
transparencias metafísicas de Cielito Lindo y una
mochila de recuerdos, Marisa Rueda pinta y fotografía
un universo y un cosmos desde el más pequeño objeto
casero. Haciendo magia, porque es maga. Y su obra es
una forma de expresión estética y vital de su
nostalgia terrenal, como un canto hasta la más alta
Morada de la Paz. Que me confirma aquello de que en
algún momento de la historia de la humanidad, se dio
lo que ciertas religiones llaman Paraíso, lugar o
estado caracterizado por la existencia de una plenitud
y armonía de vidas que habría colmado de felicidad y
bienestar a sus privilegiados habitantes, ajenos
entonces a angustias, incertidumbres, injusticias,
enfermedades, insatisfacciones, etc. Claro está que no
se ha podido precisar con exactitud, ni aún
remotamente, cuánto duró semejante dulcísimo período,
pero sí en cambio, hay coincidencias, avaladas por
Aristóteles, respecto de un hecho, cósmicamente
catastrófico llamado también por algunas religiones
“Pecado Original”, que puso fin a tanta felicidad y a
tanta belleza, y así estamos hoy como estamos.

Pero lo que me interesa señalar especialmente es que
una de las notables características de aquel estado
paradisíaco, habría sido la existencia de un lenguaje
único, total, omnicomprensivo, inequívoco, que hoy
podríamos llamar simplemente, lenguaje anterior o
lenguaje olvidado. Y que dicho lenguaje único,
desaparecido en razón de la mencionada catástrofe
cósmica, era un lenguaje conjunta y simultáneamente
pictórico, plástico, musical y verbal-oral a la vez,
que es por supuesto el que los artistas tratan de
restaurar porque tienen una enorme nostalgia de él. Ya
que después de semejante catástrofe, los hombres de
todos los tiempos hemos tenido que arreglárnosla,
usando separadamente uno y otros u otros lenguajes, de
acuerdo a nuestras mejores capacidades. Y desde
entonces, cuanto mayor sea la nostalgia de aquel
Paraíso, mayor también será la tendencia de los
hombres a usar de todas las expresiones posibles de
lenguaje.

Pues bien, así las cosas, Marisa Rueda, es una de esas
privilegiadas nostálgicas, en quien predomina uno de
esos lenguajes, o sea una de las parcelas del
lenguaje anterior, a partir de la cual y de una manera
seguramente intuitiva, como artista, trata de recobrar
aquella antigua y omnicomprensiva capacidad de
expresión. Y es por ello que su pintura y su
fotografía, recreando aquel lenguaje anterior y
olvidado, es musical y a la vez bellamente conceptual
y emocional.

Lo que ocurre, es que la nostalgia del lenguaje
anterior es sólo patrimonio de los artistas, de los
creadores, pudiendo llegar a constituir a veces –en
los mejores logros de su expresión- una suerte de
revelación. Y esta suerte de revelación, muy propia en
tiempos de grandes crisis, es lo único que permite, si
se la comprende y acepta, superar las propias crisis
para poder retorrnar, si no a aquel remoto Paraíso
perdido, por lo menos a la vigencia de una vida social
e individual, más caracterizada por el amor y la
razón, que por el egoísmo, la sinrazón, el autismo y
el conflicto permanente que llevan a la anomia y a la
disolución de una sociedad.

MAN
museumchile


inneROUTEr


Museum MAN, since its genesis in 1997, has been involved over the past decade in several international programmes and with Liverpool Biennial 2004/2006.
museumMAN is now located in a tree house in the Dartmoor Forest Devon England and continues its manifest in the original apartment in Berlin where the belongings ,scant ,disbanded and discarded, of one mans life spelt a history of a city in constant turmoil and flux. This core of belongings, photos, documents and souvenirs established the beginning of the museum in 1997.

From October 2007/March 2008 museumMAN is taking residency in Chile .

MAN is by nature atomizing.
MAN's space is remanifesting both inner and outer.
Remaining a lived in museum, Museum MAN will take home in three venues across Chile:


- Palace of government Cultural Center "La Moneda"


October 22 December 30 2007


-Metropolitana Gallery in Santiago where part of MAN´s collection will be exhibited,opening with the installation "Fragile and Ambiguous Nature " by Art Historian and critic Guy Brett. The space will be intervened by different local and international artists in a weekly base for a period of four weeks.An invitation will be extended to the local community around the gallery neighborhood to add to the growing installation over this period.

December 2007


- Valparaiso is where the kernel of the permanent collection will be housed in a world heritage city where local,national and international artists will exhibit.

November 2007 March 30 2007


Chilean artists will be invited to take residencies, exhibit, perform, be invited to do interventions alongside international artists and the public will have constant interaction within the spaces of MAN.



Seminars are planned with leading art historians, philosophers, poets, biennial and museum directors through out the six months of MANs residency in Chile.

museumMAN continues as a model of a time: space continuum ,to encourage a dialogue through its collection, within the cities of residence, Berlin and Liverpool, to Santiago and Valparaiso .
.
The constant disparate, eclectic and rich intervention of artists, musicians, performers, historians, theorists have torn through the fabric of its histories to open dialogues of the present and a window to tentative futures.

During museumMAN's time in Liverpool the doors remained open to artists and public alike. With over thirty exhibitions and interventions in Liverpool and cities worldwide, in a two year duration of Liverpool, national and international artists, a part of the collection and donations will now be housed in Chile for a six month period.

The proposal for BLURPRINTS circulated in 2004 remains true to the spirit of what museumMAN's aims remains-

BLUE PRINT of the SENSES
Models and Instruction in an age of Uncertainty


Twinned together,the theme park and museum are intrinsic models borne out of polar, yet intertwined hetrotopias.
The ethereal and peripharal site of the circus,sites of exotic exageration,mocked and painted wonder,collapsable consetenaed candy shacks and illusionist canvas of the alien and its physical extremities-the "permanent" Curiosity Shop was ,it seems, its bone collector.
In the mid !9th Century the acceleration of exact science was to dust away eccentric aesthetes and devotees of unique forms and sciences,to establish the beginnings of the catalogue,and to develop guidance through history in an order that made human,animal,botanical,geologi
cal,spacial evolution,once an ill considered far away labyrinth deliberate tools of selective representation in order to guide and instruct firstly the acamedician,and from the early success of World Fairs and Expositions,that of the public too.
By the beginnings of the 20th Century,both instiitutes had laid foundations.Architecture of folly and attainment,sympathy,harmonies,wonder and awe,though divisive in their aims,have become brothers to the crowds.Architectual butrusses of ascent and descent in age of uncertainty.
Blue Prints of the Senses will aim toward representing both artists and architects visions wether utopic or apocalyptic.An organic assemblageThe aim being the exhibition itself forms its own dynamic dialogue through stark,witty,planned and chaotic structure.Where Susan Hiller's Punch and Judy video insatallation awaits for the ergonimic immersion into space. in and out of memory,to the glass entombent of extinct wildlife,leant from The Manchester Natural History Museum,an icecream van,fortune tellers behind marquettes of Frank Gehry's Bilboa and The Judisches Museum blueprints of Lieberskind hanging....hammocked from behind by large rainbow,David Medalla''s Stitch in Time,an interactive weave of the particapory,the ephemeral,transportable,and through interaction,a free form catalogue of a definitive time.Much like the exhibition itself..
December 2004

Since written and circulated three years ago and used as the model for MAN's Another Vacant Space,(founded in SoHo New York City in 1992),for the Liverpool Biennial 2006,there is a considered shift.

museumMAN will remain a collage, an assemblage, where artists are invited to sculpt within an environment that has and remains a place of colliding dichotomy, that spells a future that could be, may be, in this, an age of uncertainty.

RECOGNISE



RECOGNISE
Friday 22 June - Friday 7 September 2007



RECOGNISE is a large-scale contemporary art exhibition now open in a spectacular setting of an old warehouse in London's Finsbury Park. It will run until September 7, 2007.

The exhibition gathers a breath-taking range of works by over 40 international artists, many shown for the first time in London, which revolve around the subject of the Middle East. Parallel to the exhibition there will be screenings, talks, panel discussions, performances, and interventions. In the same breath it is the launch of a new contemporary art space in London.

The exhibition curated by Predrag Pajdic includes works by Mohamed Abdulla, Ziad Antar & Rasha Salti, Doa Aly, Oreet Ashery, Yasmeen Al Awadi, Tim Blake, Lisa K Blatt, Ali Cherri, Hassan Choubassi, Nemanja Cvijanovic, Tarek Al Ghoussein, Sagi Groner, Khaled Hafez, Roza El-Hassan, Susan Hefuna, Hilda Hiary, The Infinity Project, Emily Jacir, Lamia Joreige, Nedim Kufi, Dana Levy, Avi Mograbi, Rabih Mroué, Nada Prlja, Ayman Ramadan, Khaled Ramadan, Paul Ryan, Wael Shawky, Sadegh Tirafkan, Milica Tomic & Branimir Stojanovic, Jalal Toufic and Rachel Wilberforce.

Breathing new life into the region for a media weary audience, the exhibition will focus on a new visual culture of the Middle East, political, to be sure, but where the primary strength lies in the artists’ work, not in their political or religious views.
